The timetable for this monstrosity is going to be sooooooo shit.

From what I remember, Metallica will be clashing with All Time Low and Paramore, so all the other stages will be pretty much empty.
That said, I really hope Fucked Up get a decent slot this time, rather than being on during the headliner.

Bummer. i would have liked to see Paramore.

ZePpLiNs666

I think they Paramore are going to be scheduled for the last hour of Metallica's set, so it could be worth it.

I was fortunate enough to see Ride The Lightning live last time I saw Metallica however I am yet to see my favourite Four Horsemen.

you talking about the song or the entire album?

RocknrollHendo

RocknrollHendo said on the 18th Dec, 2012

ah, yea I didn't read it properly :o only got Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning and Fight Fire With Fire from memory, not even For Whom the Bells Toll . We did get Orion for the first time in along time though, that was immense!

batdan

batdan said on the 18th Dec, 2012

I haven't seen them since the black album tour. I'm guessing I will only see parts of their SW set due to clashes. Only really keen to see Rob play bass

Really? More tickets? Soundwave Sydney has been too crowded last 2 years, I hope this isn't the case again next year.

Oflick said on the 19th Dec, 2012

Apparently they're using more of Olympic Park this year. Even if they increase the area, to my knowledge this year will have around 10,000-15,000 more people than last year. So unless they increase the area by a massive amount, I can't imagine the density being any lower.

That's just what I've read here and there. Can anyone confirm?

All I know is Soundwave draws easily the ugliest crowd of any music festival.

Now there will be more ugly.

And I have to watch Cancer bats among more ugly monsters.

Thanks AJ.

better than watching Cancer bats among just BFMV fans

But Soundwave goers have inner beauty.

Beneath their hideous exteriors are people aching to be loved.

And beneath that are rapists.

I act as if I haven't gone to the last three Soundwaves and will be attending in 2013.

Cancer Bats arent exactly oil paintings. You may as well have the ugly in surround sound.

So I got a ticket for Soundwave when they first went on sale and was super excited but then I gave it to my brother and was a bit sad that I wouldn't be going but now I have another ticket and I will be going after all so I'm excited again.

THANKS FOR THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE AJ

indiie said on the 21st Dec, 2012

I bought tickets to Brisbane this morning and received confirmation page saying the payment was pending. So do they process the payments offline to minimise web site load, and send an email later today to verify you have secured tickets?

According to the ANZ Stadium Members email i just received. ANZ Stadium is now being using by Soundwave in Sydney.

Oflick

Oflick said on the 31st Jan, 2013

Based on a few AJ tweets, it looks like Metallica and Blink-182 will clash (in Sydney and Brisbane at least). If that's true, it will really suck for any other band playing at that time.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 31st Jan, 2013

^ Or, it will rule. Think about it: Fucked Up or The Chariot or someone or other playing for an hour while the two absolute worst crowds of the festival are elsewhere? Bliss to me!

Oflick

Oflick said on the 31st Jan, 2013

Fucked Up would be an awesome band to put against Metallica and Blink.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 31st Jan, 2013

Hey, it worked for Maiden!

Aw. I want to see Fucked Up AND Metallica.

If Fucked Up and Slayer clash I will eat way to many tim tams then cry.

SO METAL.

Batdan is the ultimate heshlord.

grattan

grattan said on the 1st Feb, 2013

For what it's worth...

Some super-fanboys put this together. AJ says that it's close to the actual timetable if you flip Blink and Offspring.

Tomahawk clashing with Kyuss Lives?

That's bad.

Yes, let's get riled up over the imaginary timetable!

If we're going to get mad over speculative clashes, it should be the three way Tomahawk/Cancer Bats/Red Fang clash.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 1st Feb, 2013

I'm already seeing Tomahawk at the Metro, so I'm good if they have a clash.

Oflick

Oflick said on the 1st Feb, 2013

That one is not that bad if you remember tomahawk are shit.

Oh, I think you'll find that it is.
